Bang Ojek I Love You
PHK


Ilana left early this morning. Not without reason, because today, for the first time, Ilana inevitably had to ride the commuter line. He no longer had a private vehicle. Take public transportation, which of course if you do not want to be late it means he has to leave early in the morning.


The office atmosphere is still empty. With a serving of chicken porridge and warm tea he went straight to his cubicle to devour his favorite breakfast menu. Yes fill your morning with breakfast is not an empty hope let alone a fake. So said the spreaders of enthusiasm on the social network called Facebook.


Not yet had he opened the chicken porridge wrap, his eyes immediately suspicious of a white envelope placed on his keyboard.


'HARD?' inner Ilana with a frown.


An unpleasant feeling immediately ambushed him upon touching the sealed envelope. Slowly he opened, inexplicably his heart said that this was not too bad, quite the opposite. This is a good thing for him.


'Perihal Letter of termination of work ... '


Ilana closed the paper back. No longer waiting for him to go directly to Mr. Andrew Bagaskara, the head of his division. His steps are fast and steady. Ilana knew what to do and how to react.


Geck... Geck... Geck...


"Lake in!"


"Good morning, Mr. Andrew," said Ilana calmly.


"Oh. please sit."


"Thank you,"


"Your arrival here must be because of a letter that HRD sent yesterday afternoon to me." Not making small talk, Mr. Andrew immediately opened the conversation on target.


"Yes, Sir. Actually I don't want to ask anything about my dismissal, but hiding the truth is certainly not the character of a known leader who has high integrity like Mr."


"Then?"


"Do you know who is behind my dismissal which .. I feel a little unnatural?"


Mr. Andrew looked riled up by the question Ilana was asking. Many times Ilana tried to make eye contact with Mr. Andrew, but the thirty-nine-year-old man always dodged. Like someone trying to hide the smell of carrion. Unseen but Ilana's instinct can smell it.


"I'm sorry Lana. But ... I can't do anything to help you." Mr. Andrew looked down sad. The dismissal that the company made against Ilana was so sudden and for no apparent reason.


"It's okay, sir. I understand the dilemma you face. You don't have to worry, I'm more than ready to accept this decision." Ilana smiled and left Mr. Andrew's room.


"Lana .. "call Mr. Andrew before Ilana could turn the doorknob.


"Yes, Sir?" Ilana turned to the cross-faced man.


"If you need help, just tell me. Don't hesitate .., I'll help you as much as I can."


"Competent workers with good abilities like you will definitely be easy to get another job ... more worthy." Imbuh Mr. Andrew tried to encourage Ilana.


"Thank you, sir." Ilana nodded slowly. Then closed the door to Mr. Andrew's room, before the tears he had been holding back, fell over and over.

'Is this a dream?' ask in the heart.


He paused for a moment on the balcony overlooking other skyscrapers. That's where he met, Alvanno. The man he used to think he knew. But now, it turned into an untouchable mysterious figure. In fact, he doubted the death of Alvanno who used to be the source of his night cries.


'Why was it that after being fired, I felt relieved? Shouldn't I be angry? Disappointed? Heartache?' the question he threw for his own heart he could not answer.


Ilana's dismissal was certainly a very strange and mysterious thing, but none of the company's top brass dared to change the decision that came from the center.


The reason is made as if Ilana is a bad employee and is not competent so as not to pass the probation as deputy leader of the work division that even just lived the last two months.


For a moment he closed his eyes, breathing deep air to relieve the feeling. Leaving this place full of memories is not easy, not about money, but the memory that makes it not easy. His heart still refused to believe what Janice was saying.


He is determined to find out what the truth is, does it mean that Ilana should enter the world that Janice said she was in. It was too risky, but what should he do to know the truth about Alvanno's death? Saddam is no longer his business.

The elevator door was wide open, without hesitation he stepped foot into the pantry. He knows who he's headed for. Opening the door, his eyes scanned the four-times-three-sized room. Slender. It didn't look like anyone was there.


"Who are you looking for?" mr. Opram's voice almost made Ilana rise.


"Sir Opram! Make me shocked," protested Ilana.


"Yes up, from earlier I called Ms Ilana not horrified."


"What's the matter, sir?"


"Again daydreaming what else is the focus of someone's nih Mbak?" Crying, Mr. Opram teases Ilana.


"Yee .. snobs to know. Rizal where, sir?"


"Well, my guess. Ilana's mom is here for Rizal's nyariin. Ehehehhehe...."


"Sst ... don't be so hard" said Ilana while sticking her index finger to her lips.


"Anu Mbak, Rizal again left, follow Mr. Handoko with Pak Prayit to take office equipment in the warehouse on Merdeka Mbak street. Usually I am also invited, do not know why the tumben even Pak Prayit ngajak Rizal. They should have come back, Mother. I don't know why this hour has not appeared yet" explained Mr. Opram, scratching his head.


"Ooh .. yaudah if so. About in the pantry there is a used cardboard, sir? If there is, I'm asking for two, right?"


"There's donk, Ma'am. Let me take it for a moment." Mr. Opram then rushed in and shortly afterwards brought two brown cardboard boxes.


"By the way what's the card? If I may know," asked Mr. Opram kepo.


"Make packing my things, sir." replied Ilana briefly.


"Packaged? Where is Miss Ilana going anyway?"


"Ohh .. Today happens to be my last day here, sir."


"Loh ... How can you?!" exclaim Mr. Opram with widened eyes.


"Hmmm .. Yes, sir. I'd like to take a sip, thanks for the card sir." Reluctant to discuss it further, Ilana chose to leave the pantry immediately.

"We need a party!" saipul's cry echoed as Ilana entered the large room filled with dozens of cubicles.


"Huh?! The party?" the followers of saipul chimed. They clustered deliberately as if to show that they were happy because Ilana left the company. So it is worth celebrating them.


"Well, party! Make a shit, before our party must tumpengan equally make yellow rice cyinn ... " Saipul with his lemes mouth added to the uproar that was greeted by the cheers of his four followers.


Ilana didn't want to bully them, and just passed by as if they were invisible beings.


Hani and Tesa do not know about what is going on immediately follow Ilana's steps.


"Lan, what the hell is going on?" Hani was the first to dare to speak.


Ilana doesn't seem to want to answer that now, "help me finish the donk table," she asked as she thrust a large cardboard box at Hani.


"Lan, are you crazy?!" Tesa chimed in while taking the cardboard from Hani's hand and threw it away.


"Emang. It's crazy!" Ilana can still fill Tesa's serious questions with guyonan.


"Clearly with us! Why don't you resign from the office just say the same to us-we used to?!" Hani stops Ilana's hand that has started to put things on the table carelessly.


"City .... FIRED!" replied Ilana with a stingy tone.
